1 SOUTH SEATTLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Technical Education/Aviation Program COURSE OUTLINE DEPARTMENT: CURRICULUM: COURSE TITLE: Aviation Maintenance Technology General Basic Science for Aviation COURSE NUMBER: AMT 111 TYPE OF COURSE: COURSE LENGTH: Occupational Preparatory 1 quarter CREDIT HOURS: 17 CLASS SIZE: 35 maximum for classroom lecture 25 maximum for laboratory COURSE DESCRIPTION: AMT 111 introduces the student to the diversified field of Aviation Maintenance by providing a firm foundation for maintenance on both small and large aircraft. The course covers aircraft terminology, nomenclature, basic physics, aircraft drawing, and interpretation of diagrams as they pertain to everyday shop problems. Additional topics include specifications and properties of modern aircraft materials, fabrication and their use, hardware, fittings, corrosion control, cleaning, proper use of tools, precision instruments required for maintenance and overhaul practices, and aircraft systems, components, ground handling and servicing procedures of aircraft, Federal Aviation Regulations, maintenance records, publications, weight and balance control and other basic information are also covered. 09/26/ Reviewed by Faculty 6/22/09

2 Course Objectives: Upon completion of all lecture sessions and lab assignments, the student learns and are able to: 1. Properly use various shop and hand tools in a safe manner. 2. Use basic physics principles in the performance of aircraft maintenance. 3. Perform research in Federal documents and Manufacture s technical documents. 4. Describe various aircraft materials and manufacturing processes 5. Correctly use examples of maintenance forms and documents 6. Handle and prepare aircraft for maintenance and weighing operations. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES ADDRESSED: 1. Information Literacy Access information from various technical manuals and specifications. 2. Computation Use basic math skills to compute aircraft weight and balance. 3. Human Relations Use interactive skills to work in groups.
